Margaret Thatcher Day

I could live with that. I mean we have a guy fawkes day, why not a MT day?

GF day isn't a public holiday though...

I thought they believed the intel was accurate at the time?

Yep, but seeing as the intelligence seemed to amount to an aerial photo of a truck stopping outside a shed and a hysterical taxi driver in Baghdad saying 'Saddam's got WMDs', there perhaps wasn't much critical thinking applied.

Next year I'm voting for a independence day holiday -

You know they're making a sequel?

You know they're making a sequel?

Yes, 'Bailed out by the English Again Day'.

If they have a Margaret Thatcher day for a bank holiday, I think they'd have to have everyone going into work that day instead of having the day off. It's what she would have wanted. Oh and the unemployed would not be paid benefits on that day either.

..Actually I'm rather warming to the idea (I'm on a day rate)

If it happened, thousands of union members would take to the streets to protest, and get paid for it.

It would be fantastic to have another holiday in july, so make a new one. I could care less what it is. Let's just have one. and another in October as well. The UK is seriously deficient in holidays, so let's have more. Who gives a f**k what they're called.

I think it's a great idea. I'd vote for it.

Either that or it's the death penalty.
